The new site was chosen as more suitable and larger, at 3.13 acres compared with 3.09 acres for the old site, and it is near a 20.36-acre cemetery. The Penang Islamic Religious Council (MAINPP) must ensure the waqf land is designated for the mosque and the religious activities of the Muslim community.
